If you plan to open an incense stick factory to sell raw incense or even make your own brand perfumed incense, below is our guides for you.
- Don’t be greedy to install many machines at the beginning. Just intall 5 machines first to study about the machines, train the workers, set up a proper place for drying.
- Find a good source of raw materials. Price doesn’t need to be the cheapest but quality must be good and stable
- Find a good customer by offering him the best quality. At the first time, maybe you don’t have much profit but when customers like your products, they don’t want to leave you even you increase the cost a bit to earn some profit. Keep giving him the best quality only.
- Calculation how many machines you can increase. Space is the most importance because you need space for drying the incense sticks in time otherwise quality will be down quickly.

- Control the incoming materials: Every month you use how many tons of each kind for production you must have the number.
- Control the bamboo sticks: Give each worker a full bag of 40 kgs one time and check in the list whenever you give them. End of the day, you ask them to weigh the waste of bamboo sticks.
- At the end of the month, you sum up the total materials in production, total bamboo waste and complain the suppliers if the waste is high, total finished incense sticks that your factory can make that month. Now you will know exactly how much you earn.
